Lost in the Hood

Yeah, I knew some of you busters
Just didn’t wanna see this brother make it
But I’m here
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I know you feel me
Pickin' up buckshot shells
Is how I’m comin'
I know you feel me
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I know you feel me
Pickin' up buckshot shells in my driveway
Had a shootout last night
But I live to see Friday, another day
Chillin' in the jungle, smokin' hay
Watchin' the lil' locs play
With the trigger of an AK
Comin' up, runnin' up fiends, so I telled on
I’m workin' for the president, so coppers get the hell on
Devil’s on my back, strapped to kill, but I look out
I gots to put in work all year
And can’t clock out
A menace to society, society made me a menace
Walkin' a road to freedom, where the road seems endless
With no stop sign, direction, speed limit, or street lights
Just gang fights, crack pipes, poverty and long nights
Of tears, crawlin' in the well of memories
Thinkin' of the daily battles and the gang fight injuries
for life, to the heart, mind, body and the soul I claim
, Prince on my brain, so some call me insane
With no reason to live
With no love to give
The only ones followin' me is the negative
One, cause my people know another homie’s funeral’s true
And welcome to the jungles, nothin' but the flu
And broke hoes are parasites jackin' a brother
For his years, prostitutes workin' undercover
With no remorse or love loss
I’m just a king in the jungle, still runnin' around lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo.
I’m lost in the hood
Nowadays, brothers gotta pack a gun to a club
'Cause every time I go out I see a fool gettin' drug
With a bullet in his mug, and the red blood puddle
Watchin' his homie shed tears in the shot up huddle
Ain’t no rehabilitation for death
Loc, you get killed, you gone
Buried, put away, smoked
Done, did, no mo' grievin'
So long, goodbye
'Cause you’ll soon be leavin'
The jungle, the place where the big boys terrorize
Livin' a violent life in the city just to stay alive
What can I do to make it better in my home sweet home
Without gettin' locked up or a shell in my dome?
I asked God and he answered me, yeah
I know those devils wanna dance with me, no
My homie Ray died last year
An' even though I cried
Yo, it won’t be my last tear
Comin' up
In this world of madness
Don’t nothin' look good 'cause all I see is sadness
All the, black G, can’t stop if I could
I’m on a mission 'cause I’m missin' some lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
T-T-Tears
Fallin' down my cheeks, cause I’m like a bad seed
Planted deep in the streets
Will I die from starvation or die from the gauge
'Cause nowadays young brothers ain’t dyin' of old age
A bullet to the head, ain’t nothin' new, Brrat
Mark’s in the hood, catch bullets like the flu
But I sneeze back
Wit' the U
Double Z, I
Rattata-tat-tat-tat, nigga, step and die
Ain’t no sense in me lyin'
I’m ready for the season, In the mirror everyday
Steadily bobbin', steadily weavin'
Five O’s don’t understand
The mission of my gang
Tellin' me to be good, when they yellin' «Ready, aim» on the black G, but no,
I can’t go out like kill 'em
You shoot me, you won’t be in jail or prison
Take every nigga you kill
G’s kill ten of your best men
Leavin' bullets in their chin wit' the nine
'Cause crooked ass cops still feel
They can beat a nigga down like Rodney until I kneel
That’s a no-no, I got your photo
Sayin' cheers if I catch you at
These damn fools, no more tears
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
Yo, I’m lost in the hood
No way out, n-no way out
No way out
I know you feel me
Uh-huh, uh-huh
This is how I’m comin'
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I know you feel me
Break 'em down
